http://drivenpursuit.blogspot.com/2009_09_27_archive.html
Friday, October 2, 2009. I'm not going to even throw out the apology this time. Obviously, life is crazy busy, and September was no exception. I actually had a couple of weeks of leave/vacation in September, but they were spent traveling to Oklahoma, racing the Oklahoma Redman. Traveling back to Texas, studying for the GRE. And taking the GRE. I did catch up on SOME sleep, but that's about the only thing that I caught up on in September. Training is going well and racing went excellent. In recap:. The we...

Sunday, June 7, 2009. There is no doubt about it, summer has fully arrived to Central Texas! The heat is here in full force and we hit somewhere between 97-99 today! I really should update this on a weekly basis, and I'll attempt to do that this summer- but no promises! Last weekend I did the Tour d' Temple in Temple, Texas. It was a 62 mile route, and I linked up with the head of the Team Army Cycling club.he's a very strong cyclists and does triathlons, so he had his sweet Felt tri. Florida. This w...

Monday, July 13, 2009. Growing Stronger or the Start of a Coup? All of the hills that were there two months ago were STILL THERE. Amazing isn't it. They still kicked my butt as well! I told Tanya she won the polka dot jersey for the day (in the Tour ' de. Thankfully, we were safe and didn't have any negative bovine experiences except for having to slow for them. After those first 50 miles we refilled our water bottles and then headed out towards Belton. That's what hills will do! Century. Is it insan...

Pursuit: The Act of Striving: Getting close!
http://drivenpursuit.blogspot.com/2009/10/getting-close.html
Sunday, October 18, 2009. Hey look, it's only been 16 days this time since I blogged anything! When I hit solid taper, I intend to blog a little bit more. Three things have kept me busy: my job (command), Ironman training (of course), and grad school applications. The later takes more than I thought it would! Oh well, should be done soon and then it'll be the "sit and wait" to find out where I go. There will be more of that to come though, so enough talk on it! That 10-miler did, however, whoop my legs!

Tuesday, September 1, 2009. It's allowed, right? I'm a poor blogger.but it's only cause I'm a busy Commander and Triathlete. Both keep me busy. Let me sum up the last two weeks:.
